Try driving a D-19 gas...lol. Was out tonight and filled up the D-19, planning on taking it on a tractor drive tomorrow. I'm gonna see how far I can get. Just wanted to share. Thanks. ------------- Matt Folkers FOLKERS RESTORATION Restoring vintage things to last so the future can enjoy our past. |

| Matt I fill mine every day during my hay season charge. I bale with it while I am riding around and every 50 bales I burn a gallon. My XT got 75 bales per gallon. So I rate tractors by BPG, not MPG. LOL Have fun, mine is a joy. |

I put 200 to 250 gallons in a 500 gallon tank (used to just fill the 500 gallon tank) and fill tractors and lawnmowers till it's all gone. It's bad enough to fill the pickup up @ $100+ per fill. Still it's cheaper at the pump in town than the bulk tank at the farm, I still don't get that.
When fuel prices first went over $2 we still used the gas grain trucks, I did the typical fall fill 500 gallons of gas and 1000 gallons of diesel and about had a heart attack when I saw the bill, now adays I'd like to see fuel bills that low. LOL
BTW, nice D19 ------------- AGCO My Allis Gleaner Company |

| Not real sure but I figure about 10mpg with a WD on tractor drives, close enough that I don't run out. |

One of the last times I took the CA on The Great Iowa Tractor Ride, I remember figuring about 10 MPG at full throttle. I dropped to the slowest group and noticed a significant drop in fuel use but I never figured out what it was. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
